William R. “Bill” Morin

William R. “Bill” Morin, 72, of Hanover, passed away surrounded by his devoted wife, Peg, and family on February 2, 2024. 

Born in Boston and raised in Weymouth, he was the son of the late Robert and Clare (Whalen) Morin.

On track scholarship he attended and graduated from Northeastern University, where later he was appointed a Senior Lecturer.  After many successful years at the MBTA, Bill retired as I.T. Director.   

Always an athlete, Bill was very proud to have run several marathons with his three brothers. He was an avid golfer and enjoyed his motorcycle with the camaraderie of his friends.  Bill was a history buff and particularly appreciated military history. He was also a serious animal advocate, volunteering and supporting local shelters.  He and Peg rescued and fostered countless animals over the years. 

Most of all, Bill had a huge heart and was a loyal husband, son, brother, uncle, neighbor, and life-long friend.  He always extended himself to help everyone in his life with patience, kindness and little fanfare.
